Liverpool 2-1 Real Madrid

Liverpool surprised everybody with a winning performance and launched themselves back into contention in the Autumn Intramurals.
Luka had an early chance but missed and the opening goal came from Jonathan. He kept his eye on a high ball (naturally!) from Giovanni and met it with a perfectly coordinated volley. Giovanni himself then hit the bar but the teams changed ends at 1-0.
Jonathan struck again in the first minute of the restart... a backward header from a throw in. It could have been 3-0 shortly afterwards but Cesare made an excellent clearance off the line. Meanwhile the Spaniards - and in particular their charismatic captain - were getting more and more nervous. But they were also continuing to play well and a pass from Mattia found Luka who finally put away one of many chances.
But it was too little too late and the three points went to Merseyside.
